“I lost my job in 2020. Two years later I decided to pivot my information technology skills into software development. During that journey I discovered the absence of Nigeria games in the 200 billion dollar global video game industry. Nigerians play a lot of foreign games. My core team member is a graphics designer colleague from a previous job and others are freelancers. I have built a prototype to validate my idea and the numerous feedback I got helped in developing the Minimum viable product. These are the milestones and projections.
